Walk description
The route takes us around all 4 lakes, where there is always plenty of birdlife to observe, in the winter season, so bring your binoculars! There should be geese, swans and various ducks. The highlight on the recce was 2 Goldeneye!
It is a pleasant walk with open views of the lake and short woodland sections as well. The plan is to have lunch close to the Visitor Centre after about 4 miles. There is a good café offering hot drinks and snacks.
This is an easy 6 mile walk around the Country Park. It is predominantly flat along tarmac, hardcore and grassy paths. There are a few steps in a couple of places.
